One for you and (maybe) one for me

It’s that time of year again. Time for my blogiversary celebration! I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for almost 3 years now! Last year I had two giveaways to celebrate my second blogiversary, so it only makes sense that this year, I’ll have 3 giveaways leading up to my 3rd blogiversary, which is coming up on August 28.

All three giveaways will be a similar format. Each week I’ll post of list of kitchen related items that I either already have and love or that I’ve been wanting.

When you enter into the giveaway, you’ll let me know which item off the list you’d like to have. If the winner has picked something that I want, I’ll get one for you and one for me. If it’s something I already have, then I’ll just get one for you. How fun is that!

For the first giveaway, I’ve got a list of cookbooks. Some of these are my go-to cookbooks that I love to sit down with when I need some inspiration. Others are cookbooks that are on my list. Here’s the list in no particular order:

Happy blogiversary! What a fun giveaway. I would choose Baking Illustrated from Cooks Illustrated since I already own Dorie’s book, don’t think I’d make cake pops and although I love Alton, don’t think I’d use his cookbooks.

Happy blogiversary!! I’m obsessed with Alton Brown but don’t actually own any of his cookbooks, so I’d love to win one of the Good Eats ones Though I have always wanted to learn how to make my own doughnuts, too!

I’m torn! But after serious thought, I think I would choose Baking Illustrated because I love Cooking Illustrated, so this book must be great. Or maybe the donut one…mmmm…donuts…No, def Baking Illustrated!

Good Eats! Cake Pops! Good Eats 2! (Is it legit to choose three?) If I had to pick just one, I’d probably have to go with Alton Brown. Love Alton Brown. Book 1, since I don’t have it and should probably start at the beginning.

I would want to win the Alton Brown one(s)! I freaking love that man. I don’t know how many times I’ve sat through an episode of Good Eats even though I wasn’t terribly interested in the recipe, but love watching him! Weirdo

3 years- kudos! It’s so fun to be able to read your blog, and fun for you to know you’re creating so much joy in the baking world! I’d love to check out the Williams Sonoma donut book–what is better than a homemade donut?!

Happy blogiversary! Great cookbooks…it’s a tough choice between Donuts, and Cake Pops. Both would be lots of fun for me and my girls in the kitchen! They’d probably give the slight edge to Cake Pops just because the end result would be so cute.

Happy blogiversary!!! They all look great but if I had to choose, I would choose “Baking from My Home to Yours” by Dorie Greenspan. I’ve seen so many wonderful recipes from that book but I have yet to get it for myself.

Happy blogiversary! Those are all great cookbooks! I don’t have any of them, so I’d be happy with any one. But I’ve been craving Baking: From My Home to Yours for the longest time, so that would be my number one pick.

I’ve been reading blogs with Dorie’s recipes for ages, and I have no excuse for not picking it up yet! But if I win, you can save me the trouble. So I would say Baking From My Home to Yours is my choice!

That is a hard choice!!! I am going to have to get the Good Eats 2 The Middle Years, so it would be fun to win it, but I will buy it anyways, so it might be fun to get a book I wouldn’t normally buy like the Martha Stewart Cookie book or the Donuts book!

congrats on 3 years! i wish i had discovered your blog earlier but i certainly don’t mind combing through your posts dorie greenspan’s baking from my home to yours would be my top pick. happy blogiversary!

Happy 3rd Blogiversary! I enjoy your blog so very much, I check it daily:) I would absolutely love to win a cookbook to add to my collection. ‘Baking Illustrated’ sounds like it would be a fabulous addition!

Hey Jen, what a cool idea! I just found your page today and am loving it! As for the cookbook I would choose, it’s hard to pick–especially since I am a cookbook collector and just LOST all my cookbooks when our basement flooded during one of the spring storms we had here in MA! They were in boxes b/c I had moved recently and they were all just destroyed…and it killed me to toss them!So, I think Dorie’s book looks very interesting so that is the one that I would say I’d choose! Good luck to everyone!Mer

Happy Blogiversary! What a generous way to celebrate with everyone. Love reading your blog and trying the recipes. Great selection of cookbooks to pick from. I’d go with Dorie Greenspan. Hope you don’t have it

Three years! Really hard to believe, but then again, all those good recipes you’ve posted could fill a book – maybe you should think about publishing one of your own!In the meantime, I’d love the Eary Years cookbook by Alton.

Congrats on almost 3 years! I’ve been using Baking Illustrated for a few years now and I LOVE it! I just made the cream puffs from it and they were great. I would love to win the Dorie Greenspan book. Yay for baked goods

I’d love to win Martha Stewart’s Cookies. I’ve never been a successful cookie baker until recently when I mastered chocolate chip cookies. My faith has been renewed in baking and I’d love to master more cookie recipes.
